chak--i've never heard of a court awarding a lawyer a contingency fee plus a fee based on the lawyer's hourly rate. it's generally one or the other.

It might not be the lawyer's hourly rate. The attorneys can ask for anything they want, tho and usually ask for expenses including hourly wages at least for their support staff.
